Khloe Kardashian: Still Legally Married to Lamar Odom

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Court documents have confirmed that Khloe Kardashian is still legally married to Lamar Odom. And this is a lot more than a mere piece of gossip. It may end up having crucial consequences in the days ahead. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind As has been tragically well-documented over the past 24 hours, Odom fell unconscious on Tuesday afternoon after days of partying at a brothel in Las Vegas. His unresponsive body was found by a couple of prostitutes who worked at the establishment. They alerted the manager to the situation, who responded by calling 911. Upon being rolled over to his side, some kind of mucus-based liquid poured out of Odom’s nose and mouth. The owner of Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada has confirmed that Odom took an herbal form of Viagra throughout everyday he stayed there, and also that he ordered multiple bottles of Cognac. An MRI has revealed multiple strokes suffered by Odom , with reports indicating he also had cocaine in his system after being transported to a Las Vegas hospital. Khloe immediately flew to be by her estranged husband’s side after learning what happened. Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar in December 2013, but she didn’t take the necessary follow-up steps because she was hoping to save the marriage. The two have since signed the papers, but the backlog of documents in family law courts means the divorce will not technically become final for at least two additional months. Why does this matter now? Because Khloe is the one responsible for making medical decisions on behalf of Odom while he remains in a coma. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: In Thoughts, Prayers of Stars Everywhere “They’re pretty sure this is goodbye, but they’re praying for a miracle,” a source close to the Kardashians tells People. “They know that God has the power to heal him, but that’s really the last hope at this point. This is really bad.” The insider adds that Khloe has not left Lamar’s side and that her position of power has her feeling especially “lost and stressed.” A different source, meanwhile, gives Odom’s odds of survival at 50/50 . We’ll continue to update the site with stories about Odom as news breaks.

The Originals Season 3 Episode 1 Recap: Yes, Sires

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

What’s past is prologue. So William Shakespeare wrote in The Tempest. If this is the case, however, the past for Klaus Mikaelson may be the prologue to a very dangerous future, based on The Originals Season 3 Episode 1 at least. After closing one chapter in May, this CW drama opened up a brand new one on Thursday night. Yes, there were still loose ends to tie up from Season 2, namely the fact that Davina is Queen Regent (and having her power challenged by older queens in the Quarter) and also that Hayley is once again under the werewolf curse. The latter proved to be a problem after a company named Kingmakers Inc. bought up all the land in the bayou and hired independent contractors to kill as many wolves as they could find. Once Elijah came across these contractors, he dispatched of them in classic Elijah fashion. But he also found a truckload of dead wolves and wondered if one of them is Hayley. We know it is not because Davina used some kind of spell to summon Hayley and tell her she must do something for her because she can see her daughter. Elsewhere, we met a detective named Will Kinney who sometimes uses Vincent to help with cases that appear supernatural. He also called on Cami (who has been serving as Klaus’ actual psychologist) during the premiere to figure out what’s going on with victims that appears to have been killed by a vampire. But this was the meant of The Originals Season 3 Episode 1: Via flashback, we see that the Mikaelsons (Finn, Kol, Elijah, Klaus and Claire Holt as Rebekah) decide to go undercover as a royal type of family in order to live a “normal” life soon after they are turned. They keep an underling named Lucien alive in order to help them with this guise and he proves to be very useful in offering the family advice on how to lie and how to live in an upper class society. Fast forward many centuries and Lucien shows up in New Orleans. It’s clear right away that he’s a vampire and that Klaus turned him. He warns Klaus that vampires around the world are feuding and they’ve realized that the best way to do away with their rivals is by killing the Original that sired them… because this would take down the entire line. He also hints that there’s some White Oak remaining. After using his psychic to prove his point that trouble is ahead, Lucien claims to be on Klaus’ side. His life is tied to Klaus, after all. But we close the episode by seeing that Lucian is behind Kingmakers Inc. We also cut to a scene in some distant land, where a woman is so disturbed by the news she receives in a letter that she kills the servant who brought it to her. This woman is named Aurora. We met her in the flashback when Klaus and company were undercover, with Lucien saying she a beauty they should stay away from. So, in other words… WTF?!? It’s safe to say we’ll learn a lot more about Aurora and Lucien and this pending danger on The Originals Season 3 Episode 2 . And it’s VERY safe to say we’ll be tuning in to see where this new storyline goes from here. Will you?!?

14 Stars Who Have Tried to Quit Twitter

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As previously documented, celebrities have said some very dumb things on Twitter over the years . Due to these mistakes, or due to a number of other reasons, many stars out there have attempted to quit the social media service. Some have succeeded, while others have returned shortly after they vowed to leave. Here's a look at various celebrities who, at various times, have simply had it with Twitter… 1. Lena Dunham After getting in some trouble for some inappropriate Tweets, and receiving loads of backlash as a result, Dunham said Twitter was no longer a “safe space” for her. She left the website in late September 2015. 2. Iggy Azalea Iggy Azalea does not always “fancy” the social media service. She tweeted on February 18 that she was taking time away from social media because she “[needs] to be happy and it is too negative and draining.” But she has since returned. 3. Jennifer Love Hewitt Jennifer Love Hewitt took a break in 2013 due the negativity people choose to send on Twitter, but she returned just a few months later. 4. Alec Baldwin Alec Baldwin famously vowed in 2013 he would never reopen his Twitter account after he exploded in a expletive-filled Twitter rant directed at a British reporter. He’s since returned, but not under his former personal account. 5. Kanye West Kanye West said goodbye to Twitter in 2012, deleting his old Tweets and unfollowing everyone except his then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian. But he’s now back to talk about Kim, his fashion line and other topics. 6. Miley Cyrus Miley Cyrus left Twitter way back in 2009. And again the following year. But she was never able to stay too far away, often returning to show off new, weird photos and messages. View Slideshow

Nick Gordon: Soon to Be Arrested For the Murder of Bobbi Kristina Brown?

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been over two months since Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away , and the events that led up to her bizarre bathtub drowning remain a mystery to the public. A medical examiner’s investigation reportedly determined the cause of Bobbi Kristina’s death  last week, but the files were immediately sealed, as they might play an important role in a possible murder investigation. While police have revealed very little about the case, it’s widely believed that their number one suspect is Bobbi’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon. Gordon is already facing a wrongful death lawsuit, and there are rumors that his problems are about to get far worse. A source who claims to be close to the investigation tells The Daily Mail that Gordon’s arrest is “imminent,” and that authorities are in the final stages of compiling enough evidence to make a solid case against the 25-year-old. The insider adds that a warrant may be issued as early as this week, at which time Gordon would have a brief window opportunity in which to turn himself in. “They wouldn’t just let him walk in and walk out,” says the source. “He would have to be processed through court and bailed or spend a night in the cells if it happened too late in the day for the court to sit.” The suit filed by the Brown and Gordon families alleges that Gordon drugged Bobbi Kristina and then left her face-down in a bathtub full of water. When reached for comment, the Fulton County District Attorney stated only that “the case is open and under investigation.” View Slideshow: Bobbi Kristina Brown: Through Good Times and Bad

50 Cent Feuds With Cast of Empire, Looks Like a Fool

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

50 Cent has feuded with Puff Daddy , Ja Rule, Rick Ross and even Floyd Mayweather, but he may have just picked a fight with his fiercest opponent yet – Cookie Lyon. Yes, it seems 50 is not a fan of the hit Fox series Empire and he made his feelings clear on Instagram in a bizarre, homophobic rant: “There are 3 million less viewers who tuned into last night’s Empire episode!!!! did you watch it?” the post said. “We could not take the extra gay stuff or celebrity stuff last night!!!!” Beneath the re-gram (which has since been deleted) 50 wrote, “EMPIRES TV RATINGS TOOK A HUGE HIT. Ok I’ll stop now. COOKIE CALL ME BABY. I’ll tell every body to watch the show for you. LOL” 50 claims he didn’t read the original message in its entirety before he re-posted, and he claims he deleted it once someone called his attention to the homophobic content.  He makes no apology for his Empire, however. So why is 50 hatin’ on the show so hard? Well, part of the reason is that his similar-themed Starz series Power is no match for Empire in the ratings game. And it probably doesn’t help that the show took a shot at him in its second season premiere, when Cookie referred to 50 as “thirsty ass” for taking shots at the Lyon clan on Instagram. Naturally, 50 had to prove the writers wrong, by…showing some serious thirst on Instagram. We can’t help but think that 50 wouldn’t be bankrupt if he spent more time looking after his finances and less time looking for beef. Watch Empire online at TV Fanatic to remind yourself why the show is stomping Power in the ratings. View Slideshow: Empire Cast: Did You Know…?

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Ryan Press Tops Billboard ’40 Under 40: Power Players List Music biz titan Ryan Press has made his name as the current Vp A&R of the famed Warner/Chappell Music. The music exec is also son of Temptations tenor Ron Tyson where he spent summers on his father’s tour bus according to Billboard . Press credits his father’s musicianship for his venture into the industry, “Seeing how sharp they ran things made me want to be in the music business,” he says. The Philadelphia native has since demonstrated his own smarts, working with a hitmaking stable of writers and producers behind such tracks as Fifth Harmony ‘s “Worth It” and Big Sean’s “I Don’t F– With You.” Press is a protege of Warner/Chappell North America president Jon Platt, “a positive role model, professionally and personally.” Ryan says the hardest business lesson learned focused on the overall business behind the music: “There’s music, and then there’s the music business. Make sure everything is in writing, and always protect yourself. Don’t expect others to protect you.” Congrats to Ryan Press for making the list as one of the 40 Under 40: Music’s Top Young Power Players !

Drake Covers The Fader’s 100th Issue, Talks 2015 Glo-Up, Becoming A Target, And Breaks His Silence On Meek Mill’s Twitter Fingers

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Drake Covers The Fader Issue 100 In the latest issue of The Fader , Drizzy lets his beard flourish and talks about the joys of finding a new way to flow and how the material on If You’re Reading This really wasn’t quite as exciting for him as it seemed to be for the rest of the world. Drake also finally spoke for the first time on ending Meek Mill’s career addressing Meek in the studio two times to very little response… “I’m just gonna bring it up ‘cause it’s important to me,” he says. “I was at a charity kickball game—which we won, by the way—and my brother called me. He was just like, ‘I don’t know if you’re aware, but, yo, they’re trying to end us out here. They’re just spreading, like, propaganda. Where are you? You need to come here.’ So we all circled up at the studio, and sat there as Flex went on the air, and these guys flip-flopped [about how] they were gonna do this, that, and the third.” He recorded “Charged Up” that very night and released it the next day on the same episode of OVO Radio that saw the debut of “Hotline Bling.” “Given the circumstances, it felt right to just remind people what it is that I do,” Drake says, a proud smile creeping into his face, “in case your opinions were wavering at any point.” When a reply to “Charged Up” didn’t come, Drake could hardly believe it. “This is a discussion about music, and no one’s putting forth any music?” he says, speaking with a furrowed brow, as if reliving his incredulity. “You guys are gonna leave this for me to do? This is how you want to play it? You guys didn’t think this through at all—nobody? You guys have high-ranking members watching over you. Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to engage in this and not have something? You’re gonna engage in a conversation about writing music, and delivering music, with me? And not have anything to put forth on the table?” And thus…Drake made the conscious decision to end it altogether and we were all blessed with “Back To Back.” It was then that he decided to just go ahead and do another song. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna probably just finish this.’ And I know how I have to finish it. This has to literally become the song that people want to hear every single night, and it’s gonna be tough to exist during this summer when everybody wants to hear [this] song that isn’t necessarily in your favor.” It’s cold in the 6, huh? Hit the flip for more snaps from Drake’s Fader Cover issue… TheFader
